New Delhi, Nov. 10 (PTI): The Supreme Court has issued notice to the President in his capacity as Visitor of Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, on a petition by a Professor challenging the annulment of his appointment passed by him.
A Bench comprising Justice AR Lakshmanan and Justice Altamas Kabir on Tuesday said since the notice issued on July four could not be served on him as a mistake regarding the address occurred in the cause title, necessary steps should be taken within two weeks for amending the address.
"We, therefore, direct the counsel for the appellant to amend the existing Cause Title insofar as it relates to the second respondent (President) so as to read as the Visitor, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh," the Bench said.
The Court also sought the assistance of Solicitor General in the matter. "Since the order of the Visitor (the President of India) is questioned in this civil appeal, we feel that the learned Solicitor General should be heard in this matter," it said.
The Special Leave Petition filed by Ashok Kumar Sonkar has questioned the order of annulment of his appointment passed by the Visitor (President) of BHU on October 18, 2000
